GRAHAM COUNTY,


ductive soil, excellent building stone,
good water at a reasonable depth,
good society, numerous schools and
churches, and cheap lands.
Come to Graham county, the best
county in the State, and secure lands
that are rapidly doubling in value.
Nlcodemus is nice thrifty town Of
about 200 inhabitants, situated on the
north bank Of the Solomon river,
about midway between Stockton and
Hill City. 1t is beautifully situated
on nicely elevated plain, from which
view ofthe fertile valley may be had.
The steady and healthy growth Of this
beautiful town IS an assurance that
the boom which it is now undergow-
ing is u permanent one, and is certain
to drive it in a very few months to
city Of great Importance.
Several parties show their liberality
by contributing lots to all who will
build on them. Many enterprising
citizens have taken advantage Of this
golden opportunity, and are prosper
Gus and happy.
NicOdemus has q number Of wells,
with the very best Of never failing
water. Numerous stone quarries with
in two miles Of town containing the
finest quality OF building stone in the
state magnetism lime furnish en-
ployment for laborers, and aid our peo-
pie in constructing valuable homes
and houses.
We wish to call the attention. Of the
vast incoming population to the south
Solomon valley. And more particu-
larly to Graham county, through the
center Of which flows the beautiful
river SO widely known, and so gener-
ally admired by all new comers to the
great state ofKansas. While it is a
fact worthy Of special mention, we con
slider il also q fact worthy Of note that
every county in Kansas is worthy of
special mention, we consider it also a
fact that no county possesses natural
advantages, all things considered, be-

all Of which speak well for the future
I prosperity Of this fine country, in a
way deserving special notice Of all
those who are looking for pleasant and
attractive homes.
We have in Graham county, almost
every quality Of land that the intelli-
gent farmer may desire For stock

Why Not !

Why not take down and break up
Bunker Hill Monument? 1t seems to
perpetuate victory over "the mother
country" and therefore is well calcu-
lated to hurt the feelings of England.
Shall child go on for an indefinite
period gloating over the fact that it got
the best over its mother? Perish the
monstrous thought. Bunker Hill Mon
ument must 60.
Why not supersede the star-spangled
banner? It's studied retention on the
flagstaffs of the North unpleasantly re-
minds ex-rebels that their desperate
efforts to haul it down were unsuccess-
full. Why needlessly hurt the feelings
of a section of our common country?
Let us have a new flag. flag fraught
with no uncomfortable associations for
any person in the United States. The
old flag must go.
Why not read the riot act on the
Grand Army of the Republic, compel
ling it forthwith to apologize and dis
band? The organization is VIGOROUSLY
composed of men who went for rebels,
went for them on purpose, went for
them theoretically and often fatally.
Its prolonged and active existence can
not commend itself to eX-rebels. The
ex-rebel is an uncommonly sensitive
individual, the growth of his ex post
facto patriotism depending on his not
having his finer feelings hurt. The
Grand Army of the Republic must go.
Why not exclude Decoration Day
from the calendar? The ceremonies
with which it is annually observed keep
fragrant the memory of the grandest
division, the division that is "off duty
forever" OF the Ct. A. II. How can
high-strung, chivalric ex-enemies of
the Union regard the day as anything
except desire to hurt their feelings
Decoration Day must go.
Why not abolish the American Union
and form another form of government
the vote for which shall be unanimous ?
1t is well known that the South did not
approve of the Union in fact the South
laid herself out to shoot the Union to
death. SO long, therefore, as the
North seltishly insists upon having her
own way, that is, selfshly insists upon
the Union, she is doing conspicuous
violence to the known wishes of the
South. She is hurting the South's
feelings. The North as a conqueror
can we'll afford to be magnanimous.
Why then would it not be graceful
act on the North's part to invite the
South to pick out the style of govern
ment that best suits her fancy, and that
done generously to consent to its gen
eral adoption? The old Union must go.
How do these suggestions seem to
strike you, Adjutant- q eneral Drum p

him like Dutch uncle" but in this in
stance, ut least, il did him good. Man
derson helped to convince Cleveland
that the proposed return of rebel flags
was without warrant of law but he
was unable to draw from the Executive
any admission that the act would be
wrong in point of propriety or patriotic
sentiment Mr.. Cleveland cannot look
at it in that way. Although in the full
vigor of youthful manhood at the time
of the shareholders rebellion he re-
fused to give his aid to suppress the
conspiracy to disrupt the National
Union and establish an oligarchy based
on human slavery, and when, quarter
of a century later, he was elected Pres
ident by the votes of the secession ele-
ment, and the crushing out of equal
rights in the South, he naturally ex-
erted himself to have it forgotten that
one side was forever right and the
other eternally wrong" 1t was char
acteristic of his general administrative
policy that, in ignorance of the law
forbidding such an act, he was willing
to make the Apologize surrender" and
restore the rebel flags.
Two contestants engaging IN
struggle as friendly trial of strength
or display of prowess may fifty end the
contest by a general handshaking,
cheers for the defeated party, or
complimentary exchange of trophies
lost and won. This is Mr.. Cleveland's
view of the results that should have
followed the secession rebellion. Men
who fought and periled their lives on
the Union side will never accede to
this doctrine. They want it remem-
bered that they were right-"forever
right"-and that the shareholders re-
bellion was externally wrong" They
want these truths faithfully stated and
repeated for the instruction of future
generations. They favor nothing in
the nature of an apologetic surrender.
They are not willing to give up every
thing which serves to "recall the war. J"
They will not consent for this or any
other purpose pleasing to the ex-Con-
federate mind to take down the statues
of Union soldiers and sailors, to dis
band the Grand Army of the Republic,
the Loyal Legion, the Societies of the
Armies of the Potomac, the Tennessee,
and the Cumberland-or to surrender
rebel flags. They want something to
stand which does recall the war;

the arms, for instance. For the above al
most any fabrics, new or old, might be
used. India, China, Turrah, Surah. and
summer silks, sateens, foulards, nuns veil
ing. batistes, etc, combined with the same
materials, or Fedora, Moresque, Valen-
ciennes, Chantilly, or Spanish laces, etc.
The waists of dresses usually wear out
before the skirts with most people. In
deed have one stout cloth gown in my eye
which is now wearing out its third waist,
though the skirts bid fair to do up another
one even. For these cases the present
fashion of wearing jacket or basque of
material different from the skirts is very
fortunate.
The second cut shows one Of these cor
sage Jackets, which is handsome and elab-
crate enough to wear with silk or very fine
wool skirts. The model from which this
was taken was made in heliotrope ottoman
silk, with the laced bodice of the same.
The revers on either side and the bottom of
the Jacket were of lighter shade of hello
trope; and the chemisette was OF cream
colored embroidered tulle. Jackets of this
sort also may be worn with almost every
thing. Made in velvet, with satin revers,
this would be an elegant garment TO wear
with lace skirts, or any sort of thin mate

Ledger.

Late Wrinkles.

Wedding toilets are becoming more elab-
crate, and the materials used are seen
more frequently employed in combinations,
than formerly. White satin by which we
mean in this case sort of ivory tinge, as
the dead, fiat white is not admired), white
faille franchise, and, sometimes, white
MORE are seen in combination with brocade
of the same pure hue. The bodice of the
dress is very short, sharply pointed in
'front.' but having no length upon the hips
below the waist. II is generally garnished
deliberately, having broad revers of the
brocade, which reach from the collar TO the
point of the bodice, and between them a
vest, composed of satin covered with lace.
One must always remember that, If there
be any antique lace in the family, this
dress is the dress of dresses upon which
to display it.
The skirt may consist of a draped front
panel of brocade, forming a kind of a
square tablier; the sides are composed of
broad plaitings of the satin, faille, or
MORE Of which the dress is made, and with
knots of satin ribbon placed at intervals
upon it.

Cleyeland's "Apologetic Surrender"

Senator Manderson's letter to the
President in regard to the Rebel flags
contained this plain, sturdy, well-sup-
ported declaration: "Their gift at this
time by way of apologetic surrender to
the States that seeded in 1861 and for
four years were in armed rebellion
against the Government, waging war
with every resource and energy pos
sessed by them, is beyond your execu-
tive power" Proceeding by citation of
authorities to demonstrate the illegality
of the Presidents proposed act, the
Nebraska Senator then turned to an
other phase of the matter and add
dressed Mr.. Cleveland in this style:
"Nol Let not this surrender be- made.
The men who fought for the Union, in
the language of Gen. Grant, are not
yet ready to apologize for the part they
took in the War of the Rebellion.
With everything forgiven and almost
forgotten, let us at least try to remem-
Der that those who fought for the
Union lDere foreUer right, and those
who fought to destroy it lCere eterndlIy
wrong. Again / protest, and urge
upon you the reconsideration of this
action, which If done can not be un-
done. L do so as citizen loving his
country and jealous of her honor, as a
soldier who took humble part in the
DAYS of 1S61I'65, as q Senator of the
Unised States representing a constitu-
ency which served in the battalions OF
every loyal State in the Union, and as
n member of the Committee on Mill
tary Affairs, deeply DESTROYS that the
War Department may not so grievously
blunder."

a ladys costume of two materials, those
used in the model being "faille Franchise
and embroidered Indian silk. The round
skirt made of the "faille" is plainly fin
ished, and the front drapery is arranged in
plaits on the side edges. The back drap-
cry is deep and oval, falling nearly to the
edge of the skirt at the back, but shortened
by plaits on the sides, and it is trimmed
all around with frill of lace. The waist
or body of the gown has a se-titting

a smooth effect at the sides, while the front
is gathered at the neck and waist, the neck

the under-arm cores, the front ends being

FINDING PHARAOH.

Interesting Discoveries in the Tombs of
the Egyptian Kings.
In the May Century are two profusely
illustrated articles under the above caption
describing the discovery of Pharaoh's tomb
and picturing its contents. From the first
article, by Mr.. Wilson, the photographer, we
quote this account of the way in which the
tomb was located in a line of tombs
beyond the Ramesseum lived four sturdy
Arabs named Abd-er-Rasoul. They sup
piled guides and donkeys to tourists who
desired to visit the ruins of Thebes, and
sold them genuine and spurious antiquities.
When they found mummy, it being for
hidden by law to sell it, the head and hands
and feet were wrenched off and sold on the
sly, while the torso was kicked about the
ruined temples until the jackals came and
carried it away: purchased head and
hand of one of the brothers amid the dark
shadows Of the temple at Qurneh. Early in
1881 circumstantial evidence pointed to
Ahmed Adder Rasoul as the one who knew
more than he would tell. Professor Maspero
caused his arrest and he lay in prison at
Keneh for some months. He also suffered
the bastinado and the browbeating of the
women repeatedly; he resisted brides, and
showed no melting mood when threatened
with execution. His lips told no more than
the unbound tomb-and not as much. FL
nally his brother Mohammed regarded the
offer of 'backshish,' which Professor Mas
pero deemed it wise to make, as worth
more to him than any sum he might
hope to realize from future pillaging, and
made clean breast of the whole affair.
How the four brothers ever discovered the
hidden tomb has remained family secret
On July 5, 1881, the willy Arab conducted
Herr Emil Brugsch Bey, curator of the Blu
lao museum to Deir-el- Bahari and pointed out
the hiding-place so long-looked for. A long
climb it was up the slope of the western
mountain, till, after scaling a great lime
stone cliff, huge isolated rock was found.
Behind this spot was reached where the
stones appeared to an expert observer and
tomb-searcher to have been arranged by
hand rather than scattered by some up
heaval of nature. There said the sullen
guide and there the enterprising Emil
Brugsch Bey, with more than Egyptian alac-
rity, soon had staff of Arabs at work hoist
ing the loose stones from well into which
they had been thrown. The shaft had been
sunk into the solid limestone to the depth of
about forty feet and was about six feet
square. Before going very far, huge palm
log was thrown across the well and block
and tackle fastened to it to help bring up the
debris. When the bottom of the shaft was
reached subterranean passage was found
which ran westward some twenty-four feet
and then turned directly northward, continu-
except where broken for about 200 feet by an
abrupt stairway. The passage terminated in
a mortuary chamber about thirteen by
twenty-three feet in extent and barely six
feet in height. There was found the mummy
of King Pharaoh of the Oppression, with
nearly forty others of kings, queens princes
and priestS''

Marshall,s Monument.

There is promise of trouble in Coloma
over the location of the monument to
Marshall, the discoverer of gold in Cali
fornia The last Legislature voted So, 900
for the monument and commissioners
were appointed to select site. 1t is
suggested that the monument should be
erected in the cemetery, which stands on
hill overlooking the town. Marshall,
however, lies buried on his old homestead
back of the town, on the spot which he
selected before he died. 1t is secluded
spot, and monument erected there
could not be seen from the town. The
citizens of Coloma, however, declare that
they will shoot the one who attempts to
remove Marshall's body, and the commits
sioners are therefore shy of choosing a
site.

Two Men Kill Him in Order to Save
Their Own Lives.
West Tennessee has one desperate the less.
His name was Port Budget, and he was shot
to death at his home near Kerrville, Upton
county, twelve miles from Memphis, BY
Charles Wilson and Howard Smith, farmers
living near him. 1t appears that on Monday
evening last Budget began beating his
wife numerically and their son, lad
of fourteen, ran over to Wilson's place and
begged him to go and rescue his mother
Wilson thereupon, accompanied by Smith,
went over to Budgets house. and after bit
ter alteration with him they took the
woman away with them. Budget swore
that he would kill them at the first opportu-
nity and as he had already murdered three
men they knew it was no idle threat. The
more they thought about it the more appre-
hensive they became, until finally they made
up their minds to take time by the fcrelock
and put him out of the way. Accordingly
they took double-barrel shot guns and, pfac-
field where Budget had been blowing, waited
until he came out to his work and shot him
lead. They then surrendered themselves to
the officers of the law and told what they
had done.
Budget has quite a remarkable record as
criminal. In 1869 he quarreled with his
Budget was lying asleep in the shade of a
tree in his front yard the lad crept up and
struck him terrible blow on the head with
a hoe handle. Budget was stunned for q
while, but recovered, and, securing shot
gun, began to hunt for his assailant. He
found him barricaded in house not far
away. He tried to get in, and finding that
he could not, laid down his gun and in
duced the young brother-in-law to come
out of the house by promising not to hurt
him if he did so. The lad thereupon stepped
out of the house, and no sooner had he done
so than Budget snatched up his gun and shot
him down on the spot. For this act Budget
was tried in the Criminal Court of Upton
penal servitude. He served out seven years
of the sentence and at the end of that time
on account of his good behavior, and having
gotten religion, he was pardoned by the
nation referred to Budget killed two men in
a most atrOcious manner.
